Assessment of Pretreatment Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet/Lymphocyte Ratio in Prognosis of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Purpose: Recent data have provided evidence of systemic inflammatory markers playing an important role in determining the disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The aim of the present study was to determine the prognosis of OSCC using the preoperative neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR).

Patients And Methods: We enrolled 130 patients with OSCC who received treatment in the present retrospective study.

Retrospective Outcome Analysis of Buccal Mucosal and Lower Alveolar Squamous Cell Carcinoma from a High-Volume Tertiary Cancer Centre.

To evaluate treatment outcome and factors affecting locoregional control and distant metastasis in buccal mucosal and lower alveolar squamous cell carcinoma. A retrospective analysis of all diagnosed cases of buccal mucosal and lower alveolar squamous cell carcinoma in patients who underwent surgical treatment in 2011 was included from the data base. The patients were analysed for their habits, trismus, skin and bone involvement, neck nodes, type of surgery for primary and nodes, differentiation of tumour, pathological nodal status, recurrence site, and duration after completion of treatment and follow-up.

A Prospective Study of Distal Microscopic Spread in Rectal Cancer After Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation in Pinned and Unpinned Specimen.

The most important margin in determining the prognosis of rectal cancer is circumferential resection margin (CRM). But, the type of surgery is determined by distal rectal margin (DRM), whether sphincter saving procedure is possible or patient needs an abdominoperineal resection. There are no standardized uniform guidelines for measurement of DRM.

Radiation induced sarcoma of oral cavity-a rare case report and a short review.

Radiation - Induced Sarcomas(RIS) are rare clinical entity. They arise from the previously irradiated areas with a prolonged latency period. In this case report we present a rare case of radiation induced sarcoma with a brief review of literature.

Primary leiomyosarcoma of epididymis.

Primary leiomyosarcomas rarely arise from epididymis. But they are the most common histopathological types of sarcoma arising from the epididymis. Primary epididymal leiomyosarcoma occurs usually in older patients.
